Meeting Description:

THEME: The ethics of/in business and professional communication

The ABC Regional Conference aims to encourage scholars from a variety of
disciplines to bring their different perspectives in a dialogue about issues
related to ethics in business and professional communication. 

Professionals - aware or unaware - face many questions regarding ethics in and
of their everyday communication practices. From persuasive and manipulative
techniques used  with an aim to align readers with specific ways of
understanding the world (Llopis, Breeze and Gotti, 2017) to endevours to
communicate honestly, in a transparent, accurate and precise way (Raman and
Singh, 2006), the acknowledgement of ethics is crucial in all areas of
organisational life. 

This conference addresses the issue of ethics - its expression as well as its
legitimization - from a multidisciplinary approach, inviting proposals from
the fields of discourse analysis, (applied) linguistics, communication
studies, organizational scholarship, management studies, business
communication training and coaching, and further, practice-related areas, like
marketing, branding, customer service industry, financial studies and similar.

Pre-conference workshops:

Argumentation analysis
Corpus approaches to business communication
Teaching business communication through discourse analysis

Plenary Speakers: 

Dr Laura Alba-Juez (UNED, Spain)
Dr Ruth Breeze (University of Navarra, Spain)
Dr Matteo Fuoli (University of Birmingham, UK)


Call for Papers:

We invite scholars and practitioners to address questions regarding:

- The production, and interpretation of texts and interactions from an ethical
perspective,
- The use (or abuse) of communicative strategies and tactics in persuasion,
manipulation or the endeavor of ethical communication, as well as
- Broader questions related to discourses of legitimization in corporate,
political or media contexts.

Some suggested topics include

- Persuasion/manipulation in business discourse
- The expression of professional ethics in corporate discourse
- Discursive practices of corporate identity
- Leadership and management communication, employee-branding, employee buy-in,
motivation.

- Crisis communication
- Discursive legitimization of corporate activity in politics and the media
